Problems are the price of progress
Yesterday’s annoying article-of-the-day has to have been Richard Hillgrove’s piece in the Guardian in which he lays out his vision for social networking sites in the aftermath of the Ryan Giggs comedy road show.
In tones of finely judged outrage Hillgrove asserts that Twitter, Facebook et al need to grow up and introduce some kind of "a delay mechanism so that content can be checked before it goes up". Oh, and we need to set up some sort international arbitration thingy. And – since he’s been given an appropriate platform - he takes a swipe at "the left wing" for having the temerity to stand up for freedom of speech and privacy at the same time.
